The two of them slept until eight in the evening.
After a "dong" sound…
"Mimi Little Shen, wake up. It's time for New Year's Eve dinner.”
"Oh, I know, Mom!"
...
Big Mimi replied and tugged at the hand around her waist. She turned to Shen Xiuhan and said,"Xiuhan, it's time for New Year's Eve dinner."
"Yes ~"
Shen Xiuhan withdrew his hand from the woman's waist, narrowed his eyes, lifted the warm blanket, and got off the bed.
Looking at Shen Xiuhan, who was about to put on a tie again, Big Mimi said in her slippers,""Don't be so formal. Just be more casual.”
Shen Xiuhan put his tie back and put on his sweater.
Yes, it was also a white sweater. It matched Big Mimi's white sweater couple perfectly!
Big Mimi stood up with her beautiful legs and tidied up the collar of his sweater.
Her pretty face blushed slightly, and she called Shen Xiuhan to tear open a pack of wet tissues to help him wipe her lipstick.
As she applied lipstick on him, Big Honey spat in her heart. This man's lipstick has been eaten by you!
Fortunately, Shen Xiuhan had a girlfriend who was willing to spend money like her. She bought the most expensive lipsticks and the best ones that could be eaten.
Otherwise…
Shen Xiuhan's habit of eating her lipstick would definitely give him diarrhea.
Puff!
...
After helping Shen Xiuhan tidy up, Big Mimi reapplied her lipstick before leaving the bedroom.
As soon as she left the bedroom, she saw lanterns lit up in the small courtyard house, accompanied by couplets.
When they arrived at the living room, Mama Mi ordered Big Mimi to burn incense and paper offerings to the ancestors while serving the dishes. She then asked Shen Xiuhan to set off firecrackers.
Shen Xiuhan took a small roll of firecrackers and went to the center of the field to light it.
Crackling firecrackers rang out. When Shen Xiuhan returned, Papa Mi and Mama Mi had already served the dishes.
At the eight square table, only two generations of Big Mimi's family could not sit. Papa Mi and Mama Mi sat at the main table, opposite Shen Xiuhan and Big Mimi.
Shen Xiuhan looked at the dining table. It was very sumptuous.
It was said that the people of the Old Imperial City were very particular about the New Year's Eve dinner, and Shen Xiuhan had indeed witnessed it.
Moreover, it was Shen Xiuhan, the future son-in-law, who came to visit today, so the Yang family's New Year's Eve dinner was even more sumptuous.
The entire New Year's Eve dinner consisted of four cold dishes, four hot stir-fried dishes, four meat dishes, and four soup dishes, implying a good luck.
...
Four cold dishes!
There is a fried chicken soup box, which symbolizes great wealth and nobility.
There were colorful peanuts, which symbolized colorful life.
There is a mustard mound, meaning to get a hundred wealth.
There were croquettes, which meant reunion.
Four hot dishes!
There was braised fish, which meant that there would be more than enough every year.
There was a sea cucumber braised with scallion, which meant that he would be promoted step by step.
There were stir-fried shrimps, which meant that he could always smile.
There was fried squid…
Four meat dishes!
There was braised pork knuckle, which meant that it was red hot.
There were Four Happiness Meatballs, which meant that four blessings had arrived.
There was Twice Cooked Pork, which meant that the aftertaste would go to poverty.
There was meat with vermicelli, which meant that it was thriving.
Four soup dishes!
There were eight treasures to wash the pot, which meant that wealth came from all directions.
There was a whole stew of corn, which symbolized good luck.
There were three delicacies, which meant delicious life.
There was dried shredded milk soup…
...
It was such a big table, and they had to start cooking in the morning.
Seeing how enthusiastic the Yang family was, Shen Xiuhan sat down and said embarrassedly,"I've really troubled Uncle and Auntie to make such a big table.”
Mama Mi smiled as she untied her scarf.""What's the trouble? Little Shen, you don't come here every day. The New Year's Eve dinner is only held once a year.”
As she spoke, Mama Mi glared at her daughter."Mimi, pour me some wine!"
"What? Oh!"
Big Mimi nodded and took it…
Alright, he was actually holding a bowl.
Shen Xiuhan once again witnessed the cultural differences between the north and south.
Shen Xiuhan was a southerner. In the south, they drank from cups.
As for the north…
Shen Xiuhan could only pray that the big honey wine would not be poured too heavily!
Unfortunately, Shen Xiuhan was disappointed. He poured half a bowl of honey…
...
"Come, Little Shen. Welcome to our house for the New Year. Happy Spring Festival!”
"Happy Chinese New Year!"
He drank a mouthful with the Mi family of three.
Uh, no, the Mi family of three had all finished the wine in one go. When Shen Xiuhan saw that Big Mimi had finished the wine, he quickly drank it all again.
After drinking the bowl, Big Mimi poured more wine for him.
This time, Big Mimi did not pour herself a bowl. She was not a good drinker, so she only drank one bowl.
Fortunately, Papa Mi was not the kind of person who liked to persuade people to drink. She stopped after drinking the bowl.
To be honest, Shen Xiuhan was a little frightened at first because…
In the south, they usually had three cups at the start of a banquet. If Papa Mi also had three bowls at the start of a banquet…
He didn't have to eat anything on New Year's Eve tonight!
...
"Come, come, come. Little Shen, try Auntie's cooking. This is braised pork knuckle. I hope that your movie and career with Mimi will be booming in the new year.”
He politely picked up the bowl and took the braised pork knuckle from Mi Mama. Shen Xiuhan thanked her and took a bite…
Of course, he had to praise his mother-in-law's cooking.
"It's very delicious. Auntie can even go to a hotel to apply for a chef.”
Mama Mi happily praised him for being good at talking. She did not neglect her daughter and also picked up a pair of chopsticks for Big Mimi.
Unfortunately, Big Mimi did not appreciate it.
"I don't eat pork knuckles. My mouth is full of oil!”
Alright, he looked at the two pork knuckles in his bowl.
Shen Xiuhan was speechless.
...
The following New Year's Eve dinner was spent with Mama Mi picking up food and Papa Mi persuading him to drink.
By the middle of the meal, Shen Xiuhan was already slightly tipsy.
After an hour, she had become more familiar with Shen Xiuhan. With a smile, Mama Mi began to inquire about his family background.
"Little Shen, where are you from?"
"Auntie, I'm from Guizhou Province."
"Oh, it's quite far. Where do you plan to live in the future?”
"It must be the Imperial City. The focus of my career is here. I can only go back to my hometown occasionally during the Qingming Festival or the New Year.”
Mama Mi and Papa Mi looked at each other with satisfaction in their eyes.
If they settled in the Imperial City, their daughter would not have to marry far away. It would be more convenient to stay in the same city!
As for things like offering sacrifices to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival and going home for the New Year, they only went home once or twice a year. It was only right for Mimi to go home with Shen Xiuhan as her daughter-in-law.
...
"How many people are there in your family?"
"My family only has my parents and me.”
"What do my parents do?"
"They are all businessmen who have opened a few small restaurants.”
"Why didn't you bring them to live in the Imperial City?”
"They're only in their forties and haven't even thought about retiring. They say they don't need me to retire for ten or twenty years. They're used to living in their hometown with their friends and family there, so they wouldn't be willing to come to the Imperial City to live.”
When Papa Mi and Mama Mi heard this, they looked at each other and were even more satisfied.
Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always been enemies. Basically, no mother-in-law could get along well with their daughter-in-law.
If Shen Xiuhan's parents didn't live with him, they wouldn't have to worry about their daughter being bullied by her mother-in-law.
...
Just like that, during the New Year's Eve dinner, Papa Mi and Mama Mi were able to clearly explain Shen Xiuhan's family background.
A harmonious family with a clean background!
As for Shen Xiuhan himself, he was even more impeccable.
He was handsome and tall, had a good reputation in the outside world, and was also capable. He was also an insider of his daughter's industry. His identity as a director was simply a perfect match for his daughter.
Character, knowledge, family, reputation, appearance, ability, money...
He had everything he wanted!
Other than the fact that she did not talk much and looked a little cold…
Of course, this did not matter. Her Mimi had a lot to say, so she was not afraid that the two of them would be silent all day.
To be honest, Mama Mi wished that she could have her daughter drag Shen Xiuhan to register their marriage tomorrow and then snatch this rich son-in-law back home and lock him up.
Yes, let him make little people with Mimi every day and give her a big fat grandson as soon as possible!
...
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she was.
Mama Mi was a person who could not hold back her thoughts.
The more she missed her grandchild, the more she wanted a grandchild.
Thinking about her neighbors at her age, who didn't have a lot of grandchildren?
However, she would be 60 years old in a few years and would not even have a grandson to tease her.
"Little Shen, how long have you known my Mimi?”
"We've known each other for more than half a year, almost a year. We've been dating for almost half a year." Shen Xiuhan didn't think much of it.”
"Then which one of you is chasing who?" Mama Mi asked curiously.”
Just as Shen Xiuhan was about to answer, Big Mimi immediately said,"Of course he chased me!"
Glancing at Big Mimi, Shen Xiuhan gave her face and did not expose her."Yes, I was the one who chased Mimi!"
Mama Mi was an old fox. How could she not see that Shen Xiuhan was the one her daughter was pursuing?
Shaking her head secretly, Mama Mi finally got to the point.
...
"You've been dating for half a year, so you're considered very familiar with each other, right?”
"Yes, it is very familiar!"
"Then you like my daughter, right?”
"Of course!"
"Then look, you like my daughter, and my daughter likes you very much. My Mimi is not young anymore. When do you think you and my Mimi will get married?”
Shen Xiuhan and Big Mimi paused for a moment. Facing Big Mimi's indistinct gaze, Shen Xiuhan fell silent and apologized,""I'm sorry, Auntie. I really haven't thought about marriage.”
He saw that Mama Mi and Papa Mi's expression was a little ugly.'You haven't even considered marriage yet? Are you just playing around with my daughter?'
Big Mimi was a little embarrassed when she heard this…
Shen Xiuhan had previously said that he would marry her if she got pregnant, but now he was saying that he had never considered marrying her?
Inexplicably, Big Honey thought of Shen Xiuhan's ex-girlfriend, Liu Yifei.
Could it be that with Liu Yifei's appearance, Shen Xiuhan still wanted to rekindle his old love?
Shen Xiuhan did not know that Big Mimi was actually thinking about his ex-girlfriend, so he quickly tried to salvage the situation."Of course, it's not that I haven't considered marrying Mimi, but I haven't considered marrying her too early. My career has only just started, and I want to wait a few years before thinking about this…"
Hearing Shen Xiuhan say that he would wait a few years…
She was already 30 years old. In a few more years…
Big Mimi couldn't help but interrupt,""You have to start a family first before you start a business. Moreover, your business is already very successful now.”
This was the first time Big Mimi had said that she wanted to get married!
...
It had to be said that Shen Xiu's heart chilled when he was treated like this by the Mi family…
He was a little unhappy!
Was this a forced marriage?
Of course, Shen Xiuhan could understand why he was unhappy.
Big Mimi was indeed not young anymore, and he was only 24 years old. If he were Big Mimi, he would also feel insecure, afraid that he was just playing with her for a while.
For women, 30 was a threshold.
Before 30, he could still choose slowly.
After 30, if you meet the right person, hurry up and marry him.
At this moment, Big Honey, Papa Mi, and Mama Mi had such thoughts.
However, although he understood, Shen Xiuhan really didn't want to get married.
Just as Mama Mi had thought, he was so young, how could he settle down so early?
Of course, under the gaze of the three Mi family members, Shen Xiuhan turned his head and held Big Mimi's soft hand as he spoke to her.
"That... Mimi, I told you before that we'll get married once you're pregnant!”
Hearing Shen Xiuhan's words…
Alright, Big Honey, Papa Mi, and Mama Mi were speechless.
Shen Xiuhan's meaning was obvious.
I don't want to get married yet.
But if you're pregnant, I'll get married.
If you're not pregnant, let's fall in love like this and wait until I want to get married!
Then the problem was thrown back.
When and whether you can get married depends on your daughter's stomach!
